Chabre Open is finished and I won the women's class and 5th overall. It feels unreal, because this isn't me...I normally don't win anything. I guess I was very lucky the two tasks we had, first task I started early and next I started late, I think the point of take off is crucial (at least for this comp). Unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate with us and we didn't have one good task. Besides of that we had great time, nice to meet friends and make new friends. We had presentation each evening, Jocky Sanderson talked about safety and XC flights + debriefing, Ed Ewing talked about flying in Himalaya, Alain Zoller talked about EN certification, David Dagault and Mike Cavanagh (Ozone) spoke about their amazing flights last year! When the days was cancelled there were organized groups to make hiking, climbing, Via Farrata, canoeing, shopping, bicycling tour, chilling at the bar etc. We had a great time in Laragne. I want to thank Chabre Open for well organized event, one of the best comp I have participated on. The fun factor is high and the place is very beautiful....pictures will follow, otherwise there are tons of pictures www.flylaragne.com.

Amazing stuff for prices, I got these two nice crystals cubes (pics below), rucksack, beach-fleece, fleece-vest, DVD, cap, balaclava, wallet (I don't remember everything), subscription for XCmag and 50 punds for using in xcshop! AND ALL THIS FOR ONLY TWO TASKS!!!
